Trying to sell my husbands' iPad at work. Got a mail this morning. "Is the iPad still available?"
"Yes," I replied, "Are you interested?"
"Nah, you're all right, thanks."
:pac:
5am the baby wanted to get up. Decided to let him cry it out after going in twice. 25 minutes later he was still whining at a steady pitch enough to keep you awake, but not enough to get you out of bed. My husband slept on the floor next to his cot then. *cries*
Manager has organised an offsite meeting for us all in a hotel. On Friday. After work. Great, thanks for cutting into our weekend, love.0 -

steak >>>> lamb
lamb is at the bottom of my preferences list
Some people detest lamb. I have a few friends who do because they had sheep growing up and the smell of the lamb reminds them of the smell of the sheep in the shed. (Some people are like that with goat's cheese too.)
We put beef/chicken as our options on our wedding meal. Chicken was miles more popular according to the hotel. We also told our guests that if they wanted fish, just ask the server for it, a few did and a few went for the veggie option who weren't veggies.0 -

People will have a choice on every course so should be able to find something they like anyway!
Don't worry too much about pleasing everyone, or you'll crack up! As you said, everyone will find something they like, anyone who doesn't will be in the tiny minority. Once you and your fiance/husband enjoy it, that's the main thing
Finally getting around to doing some serious reading now the exams are over. The selection I've chosen from my parents' books (of which there are many) include a WWI romance, a Victorian mystery and a biography of Josef Stalin.
I likes history 0 -

Doing more meal planning, wish it was over and done with.
I know I'm so cold, have my winter boots out! Refusing to turn on heating, I'm too cheap
How come the meal planning is taking so long? Does it not take just a few minutes?0 -

Yeah chicken is nearly always the most popular regardless of cost, as it's always going to be a free meal for the guests anyway. Some hotels would lower the price of the menu if chicken was put on it instead of lamb/beef too (my friend runs the kitchen in a local hotel popular with weddings and it's certainly what she does anyway..). 0 -

Lol we have to have our heating on otherwise we'd have no hot water.I know I'm so cold, have my winter boots out! Refusing to turn on heating, I'm too cheap

Normally we have two radiators on but the one in the room where I am is currently in the store as mam had to take it down so the wall behind it can be painted.
Yeah it should take a few minutes, but I cannot decide what meals to have for this week
Currently I have the following on my list
For breakfast - http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1507664/cinnamon-porridge-with-banana-and-berries
Also have yoghurts with granola on the list, no recipe for that though.
And for lunches/dinners
Sesame pork - http://66.147.244.205/~easyfood/recipe-utils/index_recipes.php?showRecipe=448
Mushroom, beef and celery stir fry - http://66.147.244.205/~easyfood/recipe-utils/index_recipes.php?showRecipe=411
Ginger pork stir fry - http://www.easyhealth.ie/ginger-pork-stir-fry/
Zingy chicken stir fry - http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/8260/zingy-chicken-stirfry
Creamy mustard pork - http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1563/creamy-mustard-pork
Harissa chicken - http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1395636/harissa-chicken-with-chickpea-salad - if I can find Harissa that is.
Will be making home made soups etc too and have some fish in the freezer that has to be used up.
And for sweet treats - seen as though I've given up chocolate/jellies/crisps etc.

When I'm trying to plan meals I usually start by checking out Aldi's super six offer where they have six fruit and veg for really cheap. So looking at this week's selection I'd plan things like broccoli and courgette quiche, maybe a stew with the potatoes, carrots & parsnips, etc. Helps keep the costs down a bit! And I think Tesco has a similar offer too. 0 -
